Hello everyone,

The migration is completed. Now grafana.wikimedia.org supports the
"Sign-in" action (accessible from the top-left button) that allows to
edit dashboard by providing LDAP credentials.

grafana-admin.wikimedia.org is deprecated and no longer working as it
used to and will be removed at an unspecified later point in time. I
would urge everyone to update bookmarks, links and anything else using
it to now use grafana.wikimedia.org

Don't hesitate to reach out in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170150 if you experience any
problems.

Regards,
